hi billy,
i also did ju-jitsu this year for 6months bad had to leave after a leg problem but i have also done shaolin kickboxing,thai boxing and shotokan.
im going into my second year of information technology and want to compete in a martial art competition by end of 2002.

[Billy Boy]

Hi P_S I also done Shotokan and Sotokia Karate but gave them both up years ago.I also used to box but that was when I was younger and could move quicker!!

How are you finding the IT stuff?

Billy

[physio_sport]

the IT thing is too easy for me. i have been programming for a long time. the problem with shotokan is that it takes a long time to learn it and the stance is not very stable for street fighting. what i did was use the thai boxing stance and combine shoalin and tai-jutsu with it. also i learn shotkan & judo of my dad who did it for 15 years back in the days.

[Billy Boy]

I,m not knocking Shotokan but it was very military and like you said the stance a bit strange.I just could never understand how if you where in a club how the hell you would find enough room to use it.The kicks and spinning reverse kicks look the biz but practically when would you use them?

I enjoy anything to do with the ocean surfing, diving. In the winter I head up to the local mountains to get in some climbing. I recently bought a yamaha r6 and leathers, so now when the water is too poluted I get my kiks dragging a knee around some curves. I also have a nice collection of firearms.

Presently about the only hobby that I have outside of the gym is fishing. I have a B.S. degree in biology( enivironmental) with a minor in Chemistry. I am enrolled this fall to begin working on a Enivronmental Mangerment degree in Biology. I am still involved in personal training however that is also gym related.

[Billy Boy]

Hey Codzilla

Ocean surfing is that surfing as in long board short board stuff if so what do you ride?

Billy

[codzilla]

Hey Billy I'm small enough I can ride just about anything over 6', though I really like my 7'1''. It mostly depends on the surf.

[Billy Boy]

Hey Codzilla

I have a 7 6" thruster which I use on big days which we don,t get many of! I also have a 9ft Long board Watercooled its an Ozzie import and she is a real nice board to ride.

Do you see many twin finned fun boards around as they seem to becoming popular recently as well as the longboards making a comeback.

Surfing its great feeling riding on the back of a wave!!

[codzilla]

Last year there seemed to be more than now. When the waves are decent size you don't see many. My roommate has one I can't wait to get in the water, but he's always on it.

[Billy Boy]

No they certainly are for the smaller wave.

I,m off surfing in September for a full week and a bit can,t wait.Bit different surfing in the US though!!

[KingOfPop]

I play lead guitar and provide lead vocals for a punk band called Double Think. I love music and enjoy writing songs as well. I'm also extremely into basketball. Oh...and this might sound weird but is San Francisco were a hobby I would include that as well cause I fucking love that place.

[JRMY2711]

hey man any of you guys play baseball or softball me and some of the guys at my gym play both its a hard combination but there are some of the big bastards on the team that can smash the ball i also do a little fishing and hunting and wakeboard a few times with my friends in the summer.

[codzilla]

Hey Billy sorry for the late ass reply. Whats th water temp been there, fuckin cold I bet! I just started a light cycle so I havn't been surfing latley, but its been good. A lot of days 3-4ft. Water is nice although a bit dirty.

You never know if you don't go

[Pete235]

Hey Jeremy...up until this year I played both slo-pitch and fastpitch (whip) softball. If you ever want to screw up your swing try playing a double header of slo-pitch and then going to a fast pitch game 2 hours later.

[Ms Snell]

I love to play basketball, go skating, watch movies mostly comedies or dramas, and anything that my kids want to do.

[Iwan2bsolid2]

but I have grown up skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing. I also like to rockclimb, wakeboard, moutain bike, play the guitar. I played baseball till sophmore yr in high school, played 2 years of football, but I have always been more of a skater punk kid I guess you could say. I want to get into some kind of skilled fighting but I'm not sure what. I just want to learn to defend myself if push comes to shove. I have always enjoyed lifting weights though, and since getting a little older (23 going on 24) I just don't feel like getting hurt like I used to. So lifting has taken over, but I still skate, surf and snowboard just not as much as I used to. Any other skater's out there?

sleeping by the bitch......different kinda hobby i guess LOL

Codzilla the water temp is around 14degC at the moment and I,m off surfing next week !

[usualsuspect]

studying economics as an undergrad at a state university. Not a huge fan of school but its practically mandatory in today's job market. During the summer my hobbies are wiffleball (believe it or not they have organized tournaments) and participating in fantasy baseball league's. My favorite thing to do during the winter has to be skiing. I'm surprised none of our neighbors up north didn't say skiing too. And all along I thought that was the only thing to do in Canada!

[Lady Viking]

Rollerblading, reading, playing pc games and badminton.
